Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Contempo

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $112,723 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Against Alameda County at 45.5%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. The voucher gap is 16.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $3,132, 15% above the Union City average. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
